I'm very happy indeed to see the back of Gary Stewart from here,
although I suspect that once aioe reinstate cola to their server for
posting, he could be back. As you say, he has a specific agenda, and he
sticks to it. Digg doesn't strike me as a sensible place for him, as he
will continue to lose his accounts, unlike here where he, oh yeah - lost
his posting access via aioe...
